We’re Too Good To Go and we fight food waste!

We’re a passionate bunch of Waste Warriors who believe that everyone can make a difference to our world. Have a read and come join our mission!

Firstly, a little look at what's happening in the UK...

Each year, over 10 million tonnes of food is thrown away, that’s the weight of 190 Titanics!

This waste is estimated to be worth £17 billion a year.

That's £700 per family per year spent on food that ultimately just ends up in the bin.

Our story

We're all confronted with issues everyday, and some are easier to ignore than others. Nobody likes seeing food go to waste, but the reality is that it's very common for businesses and households to waste food. However, for us it became clear that something had to be done when we saw perfectly good food being thrown away after a buffet...food that was just 'too good to go'.

Once the seed of the idea was sown, several tech-savvy entrepreneurs around Europe joined forces and came up with a solution that now seems so simple! An app that lets everyone do their bit to reduce waste, while also getting delicious food and supporting local businesses. The businesses get to reduce their waste and also have potential new customers try out their food. Both contribute to a better environment. Win-Win-Win!

We know attitudes are hard to change, but this is what we're here to do. And so far, so good! We’ve grown very fast and thanks to our community we’re now the world’s largest surplus food marketplace.

Here in the UK, Too Good To Go started in June 2016 and so far we have:

An incredible community of over 2,822,829 Waste Warriors.

More than 3,787 partner stores across the country.

But we still have a long way to go to create the impact we want and our planet needs. We’re out to create a change in culture, a movement against food waste. Our vision is a world with no waste, and we won’t stop until we achieve it!
